Good Reads for PRIDE Month: Two #1 True Paranormal Books & Paranormal Drag Queen

 Here's my latest press release, to celebrate Pride Month with 2 of my books.


Good Reads for PRIDE Month: Two #1 True Paranormal Books &  Paranormal Drag Queen

 BOSTON –  Celebrate PRIDE with 2 true paranormal best-sellers involving a drag queen and gay man’s spirit who solved the mystery of his own death. Medium/author Rob Gutro teamed with Paranormal Investigator and Drag Queen, Monique Toosoon on a new book called “Haunting Emery Estate,” about a chilling 5-hour investigation with three ghosts. Gutro’s book “Kindred Spirits” chronicles how his husband’s late partner has been part of their relationship for over 20 years.

 Toosoon, New England’s paranormal drag queen with a sensitivity to earthbound ghosts worked with Gutro, leading the investigation of Emery Estate in Massachusetts.  

 “We connected with three ghosts, two of whom we proved their identities, and one who affected mirrors in a frightening way. They conveyed their personalities and stories, and one double-crossed us,” Gutro said. Gutro also sketched two ghosts he saw.  

 Monique decided to try drag on investigations during COVID, and said, “I tend to call myself ‘The best trigger object you can bring investigating,’ because locations always tell me that the energy is completely different and much more elevated when I am around.”

 “Haunting of Emery Estate” covers the 5-hour investigation. The investigators tried to uncover the identities, stories and reasons why these ghosts remained behind. One of the ghosts even affected a public investigator whom had to be protected and he revealed his chilling and controlling nature at the end of the night. They have another book coming out in January 2026 about the “Haunting of Hunt Memorial Library.”

 Gutro’s other book, “Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit,” has been called “A Spirit Love Triangle.” It’s about how Rob’s husband Tom’s late partner Ed, who died in 1996, has been part of their relationship since they met in 2005.

 Ed’s communications with Rob unveiled the truth about Ed’s passing. Ed proved he visited every member of his family with a “treasure hunt,” before Rob met them for the first time. Ed sent a look-alike to rescue Rob and Tom on an England vacation, and proved he greeted each of their late dogs in the light. Ed’s fun personality shines while teaching us how spirits give signs to loved ones. "Knowing Ed in spirit is like having a friend who lives in another state," Gutro said.   

 Both books have been popular with LGBTQ readers and are best-sellers. Emery Estate also achieved the #1 spot on Amazon in Ghosts and Hauntings and Parapsychology categories.


 Rob Gutro is a medium, pet medium, scientist and paranormal investigator. He is the first in the paranormal field to make the distinction between earthbound ghosts and spirits who have crossed over and explains the paranormal with science. He also sketches ghosts. He has published 12 true paranormal books based on his experiences. He has three series including: The award-winning "Pets and the Afterlife" series, which teach how pets communicate from the other side. “Ghosts on a Medium’s Vacation,” contains history and hauntings Gutro encountered in England, Ireland and the Bird Cage Theatre, Arizona. His “Ghosts and Spirits” series is about hauntings and spirits he met.   

 Monique Toosoon is a captivating force in the world of drag and paranormal exploration. With a career spanning 2 decades and named New Hampshire's Ghostess with the Mostest,” she was crowned Best Local Entertainer for four years running. From sold-out extravaganzas across New England to riveting appearances on esteemed paranormal showcases like Dark Echoes Paranormal Show and Ghost Finders, Monique's ascent knows no bounds. Monique also graced the grand finale of Ghost Finders. She is also the host of a YouTube and podcast program, “Ghosts and Glitter,” and the host of Scared Toosoon Tours.

Celebrate Pride Month with my book: Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriended a Spirit

 June is National Pride month, and we celebrate the diversity of the LGBT community. One of my books, "Kindred Spirits," is about how the spirit of a gay man has come through to me for the last 18 years and I've actually befriended him (SEE the Amazing Video Trailer below in this blog). The book examines the amazing signs he's given to prove he's around, sent a look-alike to save us from being lost in England, and helped solve the mystery around his own death... plus more!  There's also a Kindred Spirits 2 in the works. Today's blog will show you the amazing book trailer, and give a summary of the book. 

 
   
ABOUT THE BOOK:  It's uncommon for a medium really get know a spirit so well that the living person considers the spirit a best friend. But that's exactly what happened to medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro. When Rob met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Rob never knew Ed in life, but Tom did. Now, Ed often communicates to Rob and has revealed his sense of humor, his heart, and helped solved the mystery of his passing. Ed's "Spirit Treasure Hunt" showed his family he's with them, too. Ed even sent a look-alike to rescue Rob during a vacation in England.As you read about this special spirit named Ed and his sometimes funny communications, you'll learn signs your loved ones send. This book will teach you how to be more aware of messages from your loved ones in spirit. "Being a friend with Ed in spirit is like having a friend who lives in another state" - Author Rob Gutro describing his relationship with Ed's spirit.

Great Short Mystery (M/M): Cards on the Table by Josh Lanyon

 Josh Lanyon is an author who has written over 100 titles - novels, short stories, etc. She's become famous (she's a woman, married to a man) who writes gay male/male novels- whether mystery, paranormal-tinged, romance, or adventure. I recently read her short book "Cards on the Table" and loved it. Lanyon is a great writer who paints a picture you can see in your mind, and immediately gets you interested in the characters. 


In short, a gay reporter named Tim is working on a book about a 50 plus year unsolved murder, and gets some threats as he gets too close and asks too many questions. His once on, now off, boyfriend happens to be a detective who lives in the upstairs apartment from him, and gets involved. There are great characterizations, and you can understand the reason why Tim behaves in a guarded, sometimes irritated manner (although I wanted to shout at him to cut it out!). 

There's a good mystery and some romance, too, so if you don't want to read about a gay relationship, know that upfront. I really enjoyed it, and look forward to reading more of her books. 

About the author

Author of 100+ titles of Gay Mystery and M/M Romance, Josh Lanyon has built a literary legacy on twisty mystery, kickass adventure, and unapologetic man-on-man romance.

Her work has been translated into twelve languages. The FBI thriller Fair Game was the first Male/Male title to be published by Italy’s Harlequin Mondadori and Stranger on the Shore (Harper Collins Italia) was the first M/M title to be published in print. In 2016 Fatal Shadows placed #5 in Japan’s annual Boy Love novel list (the first and only title by a foreign author to place on the list). The Adrien English series was awarded the All-Time Favorite Couple by the Goodreads M/M Romance Group. In 2019, Fatal Shadows became the first LGBTQ mobile game created by Moments: Choose Your Story.

Josh is an EPIC Award winner, a four-time Lambda Literary Award finalist (twice for Gay Mystery), an Edgar nominee, and the first ever recipient of the Goodreads All Time Favorite M/M Author award.

Josh is married and lives in Southern California with her irascible husband, two adorable dogs, a small garden, and an ever-expanding library of vintage mystery destined to eventually crush them all beneath its weight.

NEW Video Trailer: Kindred Spirits: How a Spirit Befriended a Medium by Rob Gutro

Recently, I connected with a talented animator named Md Shams who manages CrazyCreative. I had him create 11 short (10 to 20 second) animations for each of my 11 books and wanted a longer trailer for the new book, but he was drawn to my "Kindred Spirits: How a Spirit Befriended a Medium," book. Before I knew it, he scripted out a 60-second video and sent it to me for edits. The video in today's blog is an amazing result. See what you think!- Rob
